I was at the Spa last August for 5 days for the first time ever. Couldn't get over how big of an area the track was on the inside. They had a giveaway one day and must have walked 1/2 mile just to get to the booth where they were at. Probably between 20,000 & 35,000 depending on which day but plenty of room to move around. Parking was interesting, parking in people's backyard.

That happens on LBJ day
Everyone that lives around the fairgrounds charges people to park in their yard and driveway

Having a training center in NY and representing the horsemen in NJ is such a conflict of interest.

handle,location are going to be issues,but the real problem is all the trotters who will be competing for the hambo will be racing half way across the country. 98% of hambo hopefuls are raised and raced on the east coast. most stables who compete in hambo dont stable anywhere near indy. how soon does melander,ake,toscano,pelling etc bitch about this.

Top horses travel across the country for big races all the time. That's not an issue.
